Yabin said: "She went to Beijing and said she was looking for Lao Zhao. Before leaving, she gave me the key for safekeeping and asked me to help clean it."

"She went to Beijing? Looking for Lao Zhao? Are you talking about Zhao Xiaotao?" Qu Mei frowned.

Yabin nodded: "Yes, even Zhao Xiaotao, I don't know if she can find it."

"Then...what about Grandma Xiaohe? Grandma Xiaohe..."

"Already gone. Come inside, it's so cold standing outside!" With that said, Yabin opened the door and the three of them walked towards the yard.

Yabin took out the door key again, opened the door, and the three of them entered the house.

Yabin said: "I often come here to clean. It's not dirty. Sit down. I'll get some firewood and light the stove." After that, she walked out.

Qu Mei looked around the room. The cabinets were still the original cabinets and the boxes were still the original boxes. There were many old photos hanging on the wall. Qu Mei looked at these photos emotionally, including photos of Xiao He's grandma, Xiao He's father and Qu Mei.

A group photo of Xiao He with his grandma and dad when he was a child.

A group photo of her mother, and several photos taken alone of Xiao He when she was a child. Qu Mei took the photo of Xiao He, looked at it affectionately, rubbed the photo with her hands, and shed tears. Xiao He in the photo looked sweet,

She's cute, especially her big eyes, which are very lively.

Yabin took in a pile of firewood and started to light a fire in the kitchen.

Qu Mei suddenly rushed out of the house, holding a photo frame in her hand, which contained a photo of Xiao He when she was a child.

Qu Mei asked: "Sister Yabin, these photos of Xiaohe were all taken when I was not away from her. Why are there no photos of her when she grew up?"

Yabin said: "Since you left, she has never taken a picture."

Qu Mei looked disappointed and uncomfortable, and asked: "Did Xiao He do well in his studies later? Did he go to university?"

Yabin said: "She never went to school for a day."

Qu Mei was shocked: "What? Why didn't she go to school?"

Yabin said: "She can't go to school."

Qu Mei asked eagerly: "What's wrong with her? Why can't she go to school?"

"She can't see." Yabin said while lighting firewood.

Qu Mei was even more shocked: "What? She can't see? Why can't she see? What disease does she have?"

Yabin said: "After you left, she kept crying for a whole year. It was time to go to school, and her eyes were broken from crying."

Qu Mei was so shocked that she couldn't control herself and her body went limp. Yin Lifang hurriedly supported her and helped her inside.

Qu Mei sat on a chair, holding a photo of Xiao He as a child, looking at it with affection, recalling the scene when she cruelly left Xiao He.

That year, Xiao He was only six years old. At dawn, young Qu Mei, carrying a package, came to the sleeping Xiao He, kissed her forehead affectionately, then got up and walked out with a sad look on her face.

Xiaohe, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes, seemed to realize something, got up, and walked out.

A passenger bus drove up along the path. Qu Mei stretched out her hand to stop the bus. The bus stopped and she got on the bus.

Xiaohe walked out of the courtyard gate and saw her mother getting into the car. She was chasing the car that was moving forward.

Qu Mei was sitting at the back of the bus. She looked back at her home with some reluctance. Suddenly, she saw Xiao He chasing the car and calling "Mom...". Her heart twitched and she looked at Xiao He.

He's little figure became farther and farther away, and tears fell down.

Six-year-old Xiao He was crying, running, and shouting "Mom——". Suddenly she fell to the ground, but she still tried to raise her head and cried "Mom——".

When Qu Mei saw Xiao He falling to the ground, her heart tightened even more. She stood up and wanted to get out of the car, but she suddenly calmed down and sat back down. She turned her face and looked at Xiao He again. The bus had turned a corner, and Xiao He's

The figure was blocked by the mountain. Qu Mei's tears fell softly.

Yabin lit the fire, walked in, sat opposite Qu Mei, and talked to Qu Mei about what happened next.

Yabin said: "Xiaohe couldn't go to school, so he kept learning how to make wontons from his grandma. The two of them depended on selling wontons to make a living. A few months ago, Xiaohe's grandma also passed away."

Qu Mei said sadly: "I'm sorry for them."

Yabin said: "If Xiaohe's father had not passed away early, the family would not have been separated."

Qu Mei said: "Take me to see Grandma Xiaohe!"

Yabin nodded.

Qu Mei and Yin Lifang, led by Yabin, walked towards the grave of Grandma Xiaohe. They passed by a small hill, Qu Mei and Yabin stopped involuntarily, and Qu Mei walked towards the hill.

Qu Mei said: "Dad, how are you doing there?"

Yin Lifang asked Yabin with a puzzled look on her face: "There are no graves here?"

Yabin said: "It turned out to be a coal mine down here. Xiaohe's father died in this coal mine. At that time, Xiaohe was only two years old. He was such a poor child."

Qu Mei came back and asked: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, will Xiao He come back to celebrate the New Year?"

Yabin said: "Zhao Xiaotao has not come back for many years. If she finds Zhao Xiaotao, she will not come back."

Qu Mei nodded: "Yes, there are no relatives here anymore."

Yabin led them to a field, "This is your family's land, do you remember?"

Qu Mei said: "I remember. Grandma Xiaohe and I relied on this land to make a living."

Yabin said with emotion: "You were really having a hard time at that time!"

Looking back on the past, Qu Mei has mixed feelings.

Yabin said: "No matter how hard it is, you shouldn't leave them alone!"

Qu Mei said: "Sister Yabin, I did it too ruthlessly. I'm sorry for my mother-in-law, and I'm even more sorry for Xiaohe."

There was a new grave in the field. They walked towards it.

When she came to the grave, Qu Mei knelt down and said, "Mom, I am your unfilial daughter-in-law Da Mei, and I am back." After saying that, she kowtowed to the grave three times, and then said, "Mom, thank you for your help.

I raised Xiao He, and I can't help you. God has already begun to punish me. I want to make up for the maternal love I owe Xiao He before God takes me away. I hope you can bless me to realize this wish."

At this time, Yabin didn't understand what Qu Mei meant by "God has begun to punish me." Only Qu Mei and Yin Lifang knew that a terrible disease was attacking Qu Mei. After she was attacked by this disease

Before she was completely defeated, she had to make up for the family debt she owed to Xiao He.

After Qu Mei got up, Yabin said: "After you left, Grandma Xiao He rented this land to me. After Grandma Xiao He passed away, Xiao He asked me to continue to take care of this land."

Qu Mei said: "It's better to have someone take care of it than to leave it empty. And I want to trouble you to pay more attention to that house."

The three of them returned to the yard of Xiao He's house. Qu Mei opened the car door and took out a few stacks of money, "Sister Yabin, take these 100,000 yuan and help take good care of the house and yard."

This house is also in disrepair. If it leaks or has any other dangerous conditions, you can help repair it."

Yabin asked: "Do you want to repair the house? Will you come back later?"

Qu Mei said: "Maybe I will come back occasionally. The house does not need major repairs, but simple repairs will cost a lot of money. You can take the 100,000 yuan first. If it is not enough, tell me quickly and I will pay you again."

The money." As she said that, she handed the money to Yabin and took out a business card from her pocket. "This has my mobile phone number on it. If you have anything, you can contact me anytime." She handed the business card to Yabin.

Yabin looked at the business card and was a little surprised: "Chairman of Hong Kong Wanxiangtong Investment?...After you left here, you went to Hong Kong? And...became...the chairman?"

Qu Mei said: "This is a long story."

Yabin asked: "Where do you spend the New Year?"

Qu Mei said: "Since it is unlikely that Xiao He will come back for the New Year, I will go to Beijing to find her! If Xiao He comes back, please call me as soon as possible."

Yabin nodded.

Qu Mei stepped forward and hugged Yabin: "Sister Yabin, thank you."

After the two said goodbye affectionately, Yin Lifang drove Qu Mei to Beijing.

Fan family.

Fan Yunxuan opened the door and entered the house, carrying various New Year's goods in her hands. Yunxuan's mother took the things from her hand, put them on the table, and asked: "Is this from the work unit?"

Fan Yunxuan said: "Well, it's the Chinese New Year. I want to send out some new year's goods. I sent them to my mother as soon as possible. I'm really sorry for my mother-in-law. She is so good to me, I should give her the things.

Why am I so heartless?"

Yunxuan's mother pretended to be angry and said: "I've been nice to you a hundred times, but it's not as good as your mother-in-law's kindness to you, you little heartless person. Tell me, during the time I spent with your mother-in-law, what did she do to you?"

How are you?"

Fan Yunxuan said with an exaggerated expression: "It goes without saying that she is so kind to me. She makes breakfast for me early, doesn't let me do any housework, and always praises me.

Virtuous."

Of course Yunxuan's mother would not believe her nonsense: "You are the only one who is virtuous? I don't know you yet. If you don't make your mother-in-law half-dead, you will be considered virtuous. I can guess it without you saying it. Your mother-in-law must be dissatisfied."

You don’t know etiquette, you don’t like to do housework, and you just like to spend money randomly.”

"That's not what I am doing. In addition, my mother-in-law also praised me for being selfish, inhumane, unfilial, and cold-blooded."

"It's not like she said it so harshly, but you must be angry with her."

"Am I angry with her? She's been angry with me all day, okay? She doesn't know how to be a mother-in-law. Logically speaking, she has lived to this age, shouldn't she be more open-minded? She has to be open-minded about everything.

My son? She is so good, she always tries to be the best in everything. Her thinking is already out of date, and she always thinks that she is right in everything, and she insists on me doing what she wants.

Do things. It would be fine if she asked me to do something big that would benefit the country and the people. It is just trivial things. I would fight with me all day over trivial things. I am spending my whole life with her son, not with her.

Throughout her life, she will never get used to things that her son can get used to. Do you think it is tiring to be the daughter-in-law of such a person? "

"How many old people are not stubborn? This is normal."
